Not that I am doubting what you are saying but i REEEEAAAAAALLY dont think that anyone that works for Tiger would brag about how bad their application was. Of course we all know that CASA arnt going to make it public.
I would really like to know how things like that come out. They have dont it before with their operation OS so i would ot think that it would be that much different. There would be some procedures that need changing but the basic embryo of all the manuals needed would be there.
I think from an AIRLINE point of view CASA arnt too difficult in regards to getting it off the ground. They even provide you all the answers to all the questions they are looking for in all the checklists. Follow the checklist. Easy approval. We wrote all out manuals ( check / training, Maintenance Control manual / System of maitenance/ ops manual) around the compliance statements and checklists.
Maybe they have had a bad bunch of manuals submitted but really who knows
